Study and Application of Sealing Material for Coke Oven Chamber

1IntroductionSome coke ovens have been in operation for over20years in Baosteel,cracks and leaks are found in thesilica brick walls and roofs of coke oven.The existenceof cracks causes the emission of smoke from ovens,which may probably affect the service life of oven.Thewall surface is often destroyed by the extension ofcracks,resulting in eventual shutdown of the oven.Inorder to obtain stable coke oven operation over a longterm,many kinds of repair techniques,such as hot re-pairing,gunning,…

Study and Application of Sealing Material for Coke Oven Chamber

A kind of dry refractory sealing material has been developed to repair the fine cracks in coke oven chamber. With silica sand as the main raw material, the sealing material is blown into coke oven chamber by compressed air while being applied, and bonded to brick surface or filled in fine cracks of chamber under right pressure. The physical properties of the material are similar to those of silica bricks during its application. So it can be adapted to conditions of coke oven and has good service life. The study and application results of the sealing material are described in this paper.
